Thanks much, David. I will take a look ... I should have thunk to search first, 
but was hoping someone here already knew the answer. :)

A little more searching found this link 
http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/framemaker/.
Maybe something there can help.

Syed,
If you do a search for "convert to LaTeX" you will find several ways listed, 
but none from raw FrameMaker. But, there are ways to convert Word or RTF to 
LaTex, as well as HTML to LaTex. Not the cleanest I am sure, but maybe 
possible. Frame -> Word or RTF -- Word/RTF -> LaTeX??

Subject: Anyone know of an FM to TeX "converter"

Hi, all.

As the subject says ... a MIF (or binary-FM) to TeX would be a good tool!

LaTeX would be far more useful, but I suspect that getting a clean fit from 
_any_ given FM file to templates in LaTeX might be difficult. Getting the 
output "close enough" would be workable, as long as I could tweak the output 
files to make them work out well in LaTeX.

In my search to reduce my dependency on FrameMaker (because of the recent Adobe 
pricing and cloud decisions), I am hoping to change my 17+ years of FrameMaker 
files to another format. I  have used LaTeX in the distant past, and for 90% of 
my specifications written in FrameMaker, it would be a completely workable 
solution! The remaining ones could be moved to Word.

P.S.: Jeremy (hoping you are reading this e-mail), does Mif2Go perhaps support 
output in TeX? Or any possible plans to do so?
